THOMAS ROGNE LEAVES CLUB

24-year-old featured just once this season, in 2-1 defeat at Burton Albion.

Leaves Latics after making 17 appearances for the club.

Rogne featured in three of Latics’ six UEFA Europa League games.

Wigan Athletic can confirm that defender Thomas Rogne has had his contract terminated by mutual consent.

The 24-year-old, who has been a regular in the club’s development squad this season, has only featured once for the first team during the 2014/15 campaign, in a 2-1 Capital One Cup defeat at Burton Albion.

Signed after his contract at Celtic came to an end in the summer of 2013, Rogne, who has been capped twice by the Norwegian national side, made his debut in a 2-1 win over Nottingham Forest at the DW Stadium and went on to make a further 15 appearances last season, including three in the UEFA Europa League. His last league appearance came in the game away at QPR in March 2014.

Malky Mackay, Latics manager, said: “Thomas leaves the club with our best wishes for his future career. It has been a frustrating time for him and it is clear that he needs to play matches, which we were not able to give him.”
